Country living feels like I have stepped back in time. Loved it, the staff were all super friendly.

Hopelessly expensive to sleep in a milking parlor. No not at all, too expensive and no privacy, lots of dirty dust from the beams and bedding. Host also hopelessly too much in our party and the dogs and birds (parrots) were unbearable. Restaurant was great!

Dear guest, Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, you only arrived in the late evening for a single night stay, thus did not experience the beauty of Oude Wellington's old (1795) original thatched farmhouse. In defence of my cleaning ladies' work, they thoroughly and diligently take specific attention to the faster dusting of our visible thatch roofs. They are both beautiful and natural, but cause more dusting and cleaning. Our ladies take pride in their work. We do have rooms with more standard ceilings for sensitive guests. I must have missed the line between answering your questions and offering advice that you felt uncomfortable. My apologies for that. I should have noticed the hurry you were in. But I am glad you enjoyed the restaurant and the birds being a big bird owner yourself. Please do return and enjoy a room further away from the aviary and insist on the standard ceiling room in the henhouse. With kind regards, Rolf (owner)

Convenient, lovely to be on a farm. Perfect for the occasion, which was a family wedding nearby.

Very good, breakfast not value for money. Room was very nice, plenty of space and the farm is beautiful. Everything was perfect besides the breakfast. At R110 per person, I expect more than two tiny pieces of bacon and what looked like one mushroom chopped up with some scrambled egg. When the toast is the highlight of the breakfast, you have a problem. Other than the value for money on that service, the stay, room, service and people were amazing.

Dear guest Between guests' remarks of "that was way too little" and "It was too much" is the middle that, in our opinion, never works. So we regard the cooked breakfast part (Germans usually don't eat cooked meals in the morning) as the second course after yoghurt, muesli, fruit and cold meats. We like to see empty plates when our guests finish breakfasts. Keep in mind that the price of R110 includes the "first course", bottomless coffee, tea, juices and milk. And the best of it is you can have second helpings, not just once but until you can't say, "I am still hungry." Like when you ask for more coffee, you could add, "and more bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomato, etc." At Wimpy, everything costs extra; at Oude Wellington, it only costs to read the room folder and ask any of the ladies for more. The benefit of course is the extras will be hot/warm again.

The restaurant did not offer light meals. Friendly reception. Beautiful surroundings, but the garden needs some attention. The breakfast was tasty and filling.

Thank you for writing a review, we appreciate it. The restaurant is a completely separate business, but we will ask them again to offer smaller and lighter meals; their à la carte menu therefore also has starters...... We are glad you enjoyed our surroundings. Unfortunately, we have had an invasion of moles this year and the extra heat is not exactly good for the lawn. We try to give enough water, but with the trees and the moles it remains a struggle this year. The breakfast consists of two parts: the cold buffet and then the hot meal. We feel good that you were able to wake up full. We look forward to welcoming you again. Kind regards, Margret and the team at Oude Wellington.
